Aristides Dallas Architects has designed a new concrete home named ‘The Lap Pool House’ in Tinos, Greece, whose design was inspired by the cavities and ledges of the rocks.

One of the key design elements that also gives the home its name, is the long swimming pool that extends away from the house.
